Apple has released both iOS 6 and OS X 10.8.2 today. We already covered iOS 6 when it was announced (as has the rest of the web). The OS X update adds a number of small features and addresses a load of bugs. Have fun!

Do I need this "service pack" if I have no a Facebook account (yes, I do not own one)? Do not think so.

When I was younger, the OS "service packs" introduced a lot of fixes for bugs, security issues, memory management improvements, stability, support for newer hardware and those.... OS things. Or maybe the concept of what an OS is changed in these times and no one notified me that.
